Matcha is a
green Japanese powder consisting of the Tencha tree tea leaves. About
four weeks before harvesting, the Matcha trees need to be kept in the
shade to get their dark green colour. So as you can imagine, Matcha
is quite a posh, delicate type of tea. The ritual of preparing it is
very spiritual and almost religious, but lately also a lot of cool
kids and health freaks have discovered it:
The Matcha
powder boosts your energy, increases your metabolism and contains
antioxidants, which are great for your skin! If you are on a diet,
Matcha Green Tea can definitely be a great addition to reach your
goal. You can drink it as a tee or maybe add a spoon to your smoothie
or even foods and desserts. Matcha tea is usually quite expensive,
but at focussupplements you get a bag which contains enough powder for 30 servings, for only 11 Pound at the Moment!!! (get it here)
How do you
make a Matcha tea?
Basically
you add about one and a half teaspoon (or more) to a bit of water and
stir it until it resolves. Then add more hot water and stir fast or
use a whisk to get rid of little bits of powder. (It does taste great
with them as well though ;)
Another good
idea is using it for Smoothie Bowls! I make mine with yogurt, almond
milk, berries, acai, kiwi and some Matcha!*
How do you
like yours?!
